The entire fuel pump thing and alarm module might be a dead end I think. A guy a Pelican says that the pump is only going to come on when the engine is cranking or running. If thats the case then the filter is back on top of most likely faults. My 911 fuel pump runs when the key is placed in the on position and turns off when the carbs are ready and the rails are pressurized. So I was assuming the fact that the pump was off whenever I checked it was a problem. Now i'm going to have to go back out and recheck the pump. I don't know if I checked the pump when the car was cranking or just with the ignition in the ON position. I'm assuming the latter.

I need to find a place downstream of the filter that I can check the fuel flow. Then, I can check flow and bypass the filter entirely to see if the car will run.

I probably have to put the seats back in now hahah.
